Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1908 — Kankakee River High. [ARTICLE]

Kankakee River High.

It is reported that the water has been about as high on the Kankakee thf past few days as ever known, especially in and around Water Valley, where it raised until the water went into the first floor windows of the Fogeli Hotel, forcing those living there to move into the second story. It was also high further east, twing nearly too high water mark in the Baum’s bridge coumry. The flood came from the heavy body of snow which went off with a rain.
